DETAILED DESCRIPTION I. Overview of Terms

The following explanations of terms and methods are provided to betterdescribe the present disclosure and to guide those of ordinary skill inthe art in the practice of the present disclosure. The singular forms“a,” “an,” and “the” refer to one or more than one, unless the contextclearly dictates otherwise. The term “or” refers to a single element ofstated alternative elements or a combination of two or more elements,unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. As used herein,“comprises” means “includes.” Thus, “comprising A or B,” means“including A, B, or A and B,” without excluding additional elements. Allreferences, including patents and patent applications cited herein, areincorporated by reference.

Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities ofcomponents, molecular weights, percentages, temperatures, times, and soforth, as used in the specification or claims are to be understood asbeing modified by the term “about.” Accordingly, unless otherwiseindicated, implicitly or explicitly, the numerical parameters set forthare approximations that may depend on the desired properties soughtand/or limits of detection under standard test conditions/methods. Whendirectly and explicitly distinguishing embodiments from discussed priorart, the embodiment numbers are not approximates unless the word “about”is expressly recited.

Unless explained otherwise, all technical and scientific terms usedherein have the same meaning as commonly understood to one of ordinaryskill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. Although methods andmaterials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used inthe practice or testing of the present disclosure, suitable methods andmaterials are described below. The materials, methods, and examples areillustrative only and not intended to be limiting.

When chemical structures are depicted or described, unless explicitlystated otherwise, all carbons are assumed to include hydrogen so thateach carbon conforms to a valence of four. For example, in the structureon the left-hand side of the schematic below there are nine hydrogenatoms implied. The nine hydrogen atoms are depicted in the right-handstructure.

Sometimes a particular atom in a structure is described in textualformula as having a hydrogen or hydrogen atoms, for example —CH₂CH₂—. Itwill be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art that theaforementioned descriptive techniques are common in the chemical arts toprovide brevity and simplicity to description of organic structures.

If an R group is depicted as “floating” on a ring system, as for examplewith R′ in the group:

then, unless otherwise defined, a substituent R (e.g., R¹ above) canreside on any atom of the fused bicyclic ring system, excluding the atomcarrying the bond with the “

” symbol, so long as a stable structure is formed.

When a group R is depicted as existing on a ring system containingsaturated carbons, as for example in the formula:

where, in this example, y can be more than one, assuming each replaces acurrently depicted, implied, or expressly defined hydrogen on the ring;then, unless otherwise defined, two R's can reside on the same carbon. Asimple example is when R is a methyl group. The depicted structure canexist as a geminal dimethyl on a carbon of the depicted ring (an“annular” carbon). In another example, two R's on the same carbon,including that same carbon, can be included in a ring, thus creating aspirocyclic ring (a “spirocyclyl” group) structure.

As used herein, the term “substituted” refers to all subsequentmodifiers in a term, for example in the term “substitutedarylC₁₋₈alkyl,” substitution may occur on the “C₁₋₈alkyl” portion, the“aryl” portion or both portions of the arylC₁₋₈alkyl group.

“Substituted,” when used to modify a specified group or moiety, meansthat at least one, and perhaps two or more, hydrogen atoms of thespecified group or moiety is independently replaced with the same ordifferent substituent groups as defined below. In a particularembodiment, a group, moiety or substituent may be substituted orunsubstituted, unless expressly defined as either “unsubstituted” or“substituted.” Accordingly, any of the groups specified herein may beunsubstituted or substituted unless the context indicates otherwise or aparticular structural formula precludes substitution. In particularembodiments, a substituent may or may not be expressly defined assubstituted, but is still contemplated to be optionally substituted. Forexample, an “aliphatic” or a “cyclic” moiety may be unsubstituted orsubstituted, but an “unsubstituted aliphatic” or an “unsubstitutedcyclic” is not substituted.

In an independent embodiment, the substituents are not —O⁻M⁺,—OR⁷⁰, —SR⁷⁰, or —S⁻M⁺.

Substituent groups for replacing hydrogen atoms on nitrogen atoms ingroups containing such nitrogen atoms are, unless otherwise specified,—R⁶⁰, —O⁻M⁺, —OR⁷⁰, —SR⁷⁰, —S⁻M⁺, —N(R⁸⁰)₂, perhaloalkyl, —CN, —NO,—NO₂, —S(O)₂R⁷⁰, —SO₃M⁺, —SO₃R⁷⁰, —OS(O)₂R⁷⁰, —OSO₃ ⁻M⁺, —OSO₃R⁷⁰, —PO₃²⁻(M⁺)₂, —PO₃ ²⁻M²⁺, —P(O)(OR⁷⁰)O⁻M⁺, —P(O)(OR⁷⁰)(OR⁷⁰), —C(O)R⁷⁰,—C(S)R⁷⁰, —C(NR⁷⁰)R⁷⁰, —CO₂R⁷⁰, —C(S)OR⁷⁰, —C(O)NR⁸⁰R⁸⁰,—C(NR⁷⁰)NR⁸⁰R⁸⁰, —OC(O)R⁷⁰, —OC(S)R⁷⁰, —OCO₂R⁷⁰, —OC(S)R⁷⁰,—NR⁷⁰C(O)R⁷⁰, —NR⁷⁰C(S)R⁷⁰, —NR⁷⁰CO₂R⁷⁰, —NR⁷⁰C(S)OR⁷⁰,—NR⁷⁰C(O)N(R⁸⁰)₂, —NR⁷⁰C(NR⁷⁰)R⁷⁰ and —NR⁷⁰C(NR⁷⁰)N(R⁸⁰)₂, where R⁶⁰,R⁷⁰, R⁸⁰ and M⁺ are as previously defined.

In one embodiment, a group that is substituted has at least onesubstituent up to the number of substituents possible for a particularmoiety, such as 1 substituent, 2 substituents, 3 substituents, or 4substituents.

Additionally, in embodiments where a group or moiety is substituted witha substituted substituent, the nesting of such substituted substituentsis limited to three, thereby preventing the formation of polymers. Thus,in a group or moiety comprising a first group that is a substituent on asecond group that is itself a substituent on a third group, which isattached to the parent structure, the first (outermost) group can onlybe substituted with unsubstituted substituents. For example, in a groupcomprising -(aryl-1)-(aryl-2)-(aryl-3), aryl-3 can only be substitutedwith substituents that are not themselves substituted.

Any group or moiety defined herein can be connected to any other portionof a disclosed structure, such as a parent or core structure, as wouldbe understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art, such as byconsidering valence rules, comparison to exemplary species, and/orconsidering functionality, unless the connectivity of the group ormoiety to the other portion of the structure is expressly stated, or isimplied by context.

III. Methods of Making Compounds

Disclosed embodiments of the present compounds can be prepared by anysuitable method as will be understood by a person of ordinary skill inthe art. One exemplary suitable method is provided below with referenceto specific compounds in the examples, and can include the followingfirst reaction step according to Scheme 1.

With reference to Scheme 1, protected amine precursor 100 can be coupledwith R¹ group 102, which comprises an “R⁶-linker” group as illustratedin Scheme 1, using a metal-mediated, cross-coupling reaction to providethe cross-coupled product 104. In some embodiments, the metal-mediated,cross-coupling reaction can be carried out using a transition metalcatalyst, such as a palladium catalyst. Exemplary palladium catalystsinclude, but are not limited to, Pd(0) catalysts (e.g., Pd₂(dba)₃,Pd(dba)₂, Pd(PPh₃)₄, and the like) or Pd(II) catalyst (e.g., XPhos Pdgeneration 2 or generation 3, PdCl₂, Pd(OAc)₂, and the like). In someembodiments, the palladium catalyst can be used in combination withanother co-catalyst, such as CuI, to promote the cross-couplingreaction, such as in a Sonogoshira reaction. The metal-mediated,cross-coupling also can comprise using a base, such as an amine base(e.g., Et₃N), or an inorganic base (e.g., Cs₂CO₃, Na₂CO₃, K₂CO₃ or thelike), and a solvent (e.g., dimethylformamide). With reference to Scheme1, X is a suitable group for metal-mediated, cross-coupling, such as ahalogen or a triflate group and PG is an amine protecting group, whichcan be selected from, but is not limited to, a9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (“Fmoc”) group, a t-butyloxycarbonyl (“Boc”)group, a trityl (“Tr”) group, an allyloxycarbonyl (“Alloc”) group, abenzyloxycarbonyl (“Cbz”) group, and the like.

Representative examples of the method steps shown in Scheme 1 areprovided below in Schemes 2A-2F. A method similar to that illustrated inScheme 2A can be used to make compounds I-14 to I-17 and I-35 byreplacing the propargylic alcohol in Scheme 2A with the correspondingalkyne group that gives rise to each of compounds I-14 to I-17 and I-35;the further modifications that can be used to arrive at the finalstructure of compounds I-14 to I-17 are discussed below.

Once cross-coupled product 104 is made, it can be subjected to anoptional linker group reduction step wherein linker groups comprisingone or more sites of unsaturation can be reduced to saturated linkergroups and/or linker groups having fewer degrees of unsaturation. If alinker reduction group is used, it can then be followed by adeprotection step and then an amide formation step, as illustrated inScheme 3. Alternatively, if a linker group reduction step is not used,then cross-coupled product 104 can be deprotected and converted to amidecompound 302.

With reference to Scheme 3, an optional linker reduction step can becarried out. For example, if the linker comprises a site of unsaturation(e.g., a double or triple bond), the site of unsaturation can be reducedsuch that it becomes fully saturated (e.g., such as reducing a doublebond and/or a triple bond to a single bond) or that it has few degreesof unsaturation (e.g., such as reducing a triple bond to a double bond).Suitable reagents for carrying out such an optional linker reductionstep are recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art with thebenefit of the present disclosure; however, one exemplary set ofconditions includes exposing cross-coupled product 104 to H₂ in thepresence of Pd on carbon. As these steps are optional, they need not becarried out in all embodiments. Instead, in some embodiments,cross-coupled product 104 can be deprotected to provide an amine that isthen converted to amide compound 302 by reacting the amine with asuitable acid coupling partner 300, as illustrated in Scheme 3. In someembodiments, the method can further comprise making one or moreadditional modifications to amide compound 302 to provide amide compound500, such as modifying an R⁶ group to form a different R⁶ group, asillustrated in Scheme 4.

With reference to Scheme 5, one or more modifications to the R⁶ groupcan be carried out. For example, if R⁶ is an ester group, it can beconverted to a carboxylic acid or to a primary alcohol. Suitablereagents for carrying out such an optional modification step arerecognized by those of ordinary skill in the art with the benefit of thepresent disclosure; however, one exemplary set of conditions includesexposing an R⁶ ester group to LiOH to provide the corresponding acid.

A number of the exemplary disclosed compounds are alkynyl substitutedanalogs. These compounds can be made using a metal-mediated couplingstrategy as discussed above with reference to Scheme 1. Scheme 5illustrates a more detailed general method for making alkynylsubstituted analogs according to the present disclosure.

With reference to Scheme 5, nitrogen was bubbled through a stirringsolution of an aryl/hetetoarylhalide (1 equivalent), either compound 700or 706, CuI (0.1-0.2 equivalent), and Pd(PPh₃)₄ (0.05-0.1 equivalent) indry DMF (3-4 mL/mmol) for 3 minutes in a vial. Subsequently, to the darkreaction solution was added NEt₃ (10 equivalents), followed by thecorresponding alkyne (1.5-3 equivalents), either compound 702 or 708, inquick succession. Nitrogen was bubbled through the reaction mixture for2 minutes, and the vial capped. The reaction mixture was stirred at aneffective reaction temperatures, such as 70-90° C., for an effectivereaction period, such as 3-6 hours. Alternatively, the reaction mixturecan be heated in a microwave reactor (30-45 minutes) until thearyl/hetetoarylhalide 700 or 706 was consumed. The dark reactionsolution was processed by one of the following methods: a) a work-up ofdiluting with ice-water/organic solvent; b) concentrated to dryness,followed by a work-up after diluting with ice-water/organic solvent; orc) the crude residue was diluted with ice-water, sonicated and theslurry allowed to warm to room temperature. The resulting grey/darksolid was collected by filtration, suction dried, dissolved in THF (20mL), filtered through Celite®/silica gel pad, and the pad was washedwith THF. Subsequently, the crude material was purified by reverse phasecolumn chromatographic or by normal phase silica gel flash columnchromatography to provide corresponding the alkynyl substituted analogs(Yield: 25-69%), compounds 704 or 710.

In one embodiment, the presently disclosed compounds can be used to slowthe onset of the consequences of aging. For example, the presentcompounds reduce the heightened chronic inflammation associated withadvanced age (“inflammaging”). Myriad symptoms and conditions areassociated with inflammaging, by way of example, such conditions thatcan be treated with the present compounds include, neurodegenerativedisorders, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, hematopoietic neoplasmsand myeloproliferative disorders. Additional conditions that can betreated or ameliorated by the present compounds include those describedby Franceschi C, Campisi J. Chronic inflammation (inflammaging) and itspotential contribution to age-associated diseases. J. Gerontol A BiolSci Med Sci. 2014; 69 Suppl 1: S4-S9. In another aspect, the presentcompounds can be used to reduce aging effects on the reproductivesystem. For example, necroptosis induced by RIP 1 signaling has beenimplicated in the aging of reproductive organs by Li et al. eLife 2017;6:e27692 and Chaudhary et al. Journal of Biomedical Science (2019)26:11, thus the present compounds could be used to treat symptoms ofassociated with aging, such as reduced testosterone levels, reducedfertility and prostate hyperplasia.

For particular embodiments, at least one compound, or a compositioncomprising at least one compound, according to the present invention isadministered to a subject having, or potentially developing, atopicdermatitis. In another particular embodiment, at least one compound, ora composition comprising at least one compound, according to the presentinvention is administered to a subject having, or potentiallydeveloping, rheumatoid arthritis. In another particular embodiment, atleast one compound, or a composition comprising at least one compound,according to the present invention is administered to a subject having,or potentially developing, ankylosing spondylitis. In another particularembodiment, at least one compound, or a composition comprising at leastone compound, according to the present invention is administered to asubject having, or potentially developing, myelodysplastic syndrome,such as a subject having myelofibrosis or polycythemia vera.

Examples of allergic disorders that may be treated using the disclosedcompound, combinations of disclosed compounds, or pharmaceuticalcompositions thereof, include, but are not limited to, asthma (e.g.atopic asthma, allergic asthma, atopic bronchial IgE-mediated asthma,non-atopic asthma, bronchial asthma, non-allergic asthma, essentialasthma, true asthma, intrinsic asthma caused by pathophysiologicdisturbances, essential asthma of unknown or unapparent cause,emphysematous asthma, exercise-induced asthma, emotion-induced asthma,extrinsic asthma caused by environmental factors, cold air inducedasthma, occupational asthma, infective asthma caused by or associatedwith bacterial, fungal, protozoal, or viral infection, incipient asthma,wheezy infant syndrome, bronchiolitis, cough variant asthma ordrug-induced asthma), allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA),allergic rhinitis, perennial allergic rhinitis, perennial rhinitis,vasomotor rhinitis, post-nasal drip, purulent or non-purulent sinusitis,acute or chronic sinusitis, and ethmoid, frontal, maxillary, or sphenoidsinusitis.

Rheumatoid arthritis is another example of a disorder that can betreated with the present compounds. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) typicallyresults in swelling, pain, loss of motion and tenderness of targetjoints throughout the body. RA is characterized by chronically inflamedsynovium that is densely crowded with lymphocytes. The synovialmembrane, which is typically one cell layer thick, becomes intenselycellular and assumes a form similar to lymphoid tissue, includingdendritic cells, T-, B- and NK cells, macrophages and clusters of plasmacells. This process, as well as a plethora of immunopathologicalmechanisms including the formation of antigen-immunoglobulin complexes,eventually result in destruction of the integrity of the joint,resulting in deformity, permanent loss of function and/or bone erosionat or near the joint. The disclosed compound, combinations of disclosedcompounds, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, may be used to treat,ameliorate or prevent any one, several or all of these symptoms of RA.Thus, in the context of RA, the compounds are considered to providetherapeutic benefit when a reduction or amelioration of any of thesymptoms commonly associated with RA is achieved, regardless of whetherthe treatment results in a concomitant treatment of the underlying RAand/or a reduction in the amount of circulating rheumatoid factor(“RF”).

The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) has developed criteria fordefining improvement and clinical remission in RA. Once such parameter,the ACR20 (ACR criteria for 20% clinical improvement), requires a 20%improvement in the tender and swollen joint count, as well as a 20%improvement in 3 of the following 5 parameters: patient's globalassessment, physician's global assessment, patient's assessment of pain,degree of disability, and level of acute phase reactant. These criteriahave been expanded for 50% and 70% improvement in ACR50 and ACR70,respectively. Other criteria include Paulu's criteria and radiographicprogression (e.g. Sharp score).

In some embodiments, therapeutic benefit in patients suffering from RAis achieved when the patient exhibits an ACR20. In specific embodiments,ACR improvements of ACRC50 or even ACR70 may be achieved.

Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 91:2076-2080, 1994), and implanting a deliverydevice in the brain (see, e.g., Gill et al., Nature Med. 9:589-595,2003. Openings in the blood-brain barrier include, but are not limitedto, ultrasound, osmotic pressure (e.g., by administration of hypertonicmannitol and permeabilization by, e.g., bradykinin or permeabilizer A-7(see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,112,596, 5,268,164, 5,506,206, and5,686,416). Compounds also may be encapsulated in liposomes that arecoupled to antibody binding fragments that bind to receptors on thevascular endothelium of the blood-brain barrier.

For certain embodiments, the compounds can be administered continuouslyby infusion into the fluid reservoirs of the CNS or by bolus injection.Compounds can be administered using an indwelling catheter and acontinuous administration means such as a pump, or by Implantation of asustained-release vehicle. For example, the compounds may be injectedthrough chronically implanted cannulas or chronically infused with thehelp of osmotic minipumps. Subcutaneous pumps can deliver compounds tothe cerebral ventricles.

C. Dosages

The disclosed compound, pharmaceutical compositions, or combinations ofdisclosed compounds will generally be used in an amount effective toachieve the intended result, for example, in an amount effective toinhibit a RIP1 kinase and/or to treat, prevent or ameliorate aparticular condition. The disclosed compound(s), or pharmaceuticalcompositions thereof, can be administered therapeutically to achievetherapeutic benefit or prophylactically to achieve a prophylacticbenefit. Therapeutic benefit means eradication or amelioration of theunderlying disorder being treated and/or eradication or amelioration ofone or more of the symptoms associated with the underlying disorder suchthat the patient reports an improvement in feeling or condition,notwithstanding that the patient may still be afflicted with theunderlying disorder. For example, administration of a compound to apatient suffering from an allergy provides therapeutic benefit not onlywhen the underlying allergic response is eradicated or ameliorated, butalso when the patient reports a decrease in the severity or duration ofthe symptoms associated with the allergy following exposure to theallergen. As another example, therapeutic benefit in the context ofasthma includes an improvement in respiration following the onset of anasthmatic attack or a reduction in the frequency or severity ofasthmatic episodes. Therapeutic benefit also includes halting or slowingthe progression of the disease, regardless of whether improvement isrealized.

As known by those of ordinary skill in the art, the preferred dosage ofdisclosed compounds may depend on various factors, including the age,weight, general health, and severity of the condition of the patient orsubject being treated. Dosage also may need to be tailored to the sex ofthe individual and/or the lung capacity of the individual, whenadministered by inhalation. Dosage may also be tailored to individualssuffering from more than one condition or those individuals who haveadditional conditions that affect lung capacity and the ability tobreathe normally, for example, emphysema, bronchitis, pneumonia,respiratory distress syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,and respiratory infections. Dosage, and frequency of administration ofthe disclosed compound(s) or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, willalso depend on whether the disclosed compound(s) are formulated fortreatment of acute episodes of a condition or for the prophylactictreatment of a disorder. A person of ordinary skill in the art will beable to determine the optimal dose for a particular individual.

For prophylactic administration, the disclosed compound, combinations ofdisclosed compounds, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, can beadministered to a patient or subject at risk of developing one of thepreviously described conditions. For example, if it is unknown whether apatient or subject is allergic to a particular drug, the disclosedcompound, combinations of disclosed compounds, or pharmaceuticalcompositions thereof, can be administered prior to administration of thedrug to avoid or ameliorate an allergic response to the drug.Alternatively, prophylactic administration can be used to avoid orameliorate the onset of symptoms in a patient diagnosed with theunderlying disorder. For example, a disclosed compound(s), orpharmaceutical composition thereof, can be administered to an allergysufferer prior to expected exposure to the allergen. A disclosedcompound, combinations of disclosed compounds, or pharmaceuticalcompositions thereof, can also be administered prophylactically tohealthy individuals who are repeatedly exposed to agents known to one ofthe above-described maladies to prevent the onset of the disorder. Forexample, a disclosed compound, combinations of disclosed compounds, orpharmaceutical compositions thereof, can be administered to a healthyindividual who is repeatedly exposed to an allergen known to induceallergies, such as latex, in an effort to prevent the individual fromdeveloping an allergy. Alternatively, a disclosed compound, combinationsof disclosed compounds, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, can beadministered to a patient suffering from asthma prior to partaking inactivities which trigger asthma attacks to lessen the severity of, oravoid altogether, an asthmatic episode.

Effective dosages can be estimated initially from in vitro assays. Forexample, an initial dosage for use in subjects can be formulated toachieve a circulating blood or serum concentration of active compoundthat is at or above an IC₅₀ or EC₅₀ of the particular compound asmeasured in an in vitro assay. Dosages can be calculated to achieve suchcirculating blood or serum concentrations taking into account thebioavailability of the particular compound. Fingl & Woodbury, “GeneralPrinciples,” In: Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmaceutical Basis ofTherapeutics, Chapter 1, pages 1-46, Pergamon Press, and the referencescited therein, provide additional guidance concerning effective dosages.

In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds have an EC₅₀ from greaterthan 0 to 20 μM, such as from greater than 0 to 10 μM, from greater than0 to 5 μM, from greater than 0 to 1 μM, from greater than 0 to 0.5 μM,from greater than 0 to 0.1 μM, or from greater than 0 to 0.05 μM.

Initial dosages can also be estimated from in vivo data, such as animalmodels. Animal models useful for testing the efficacy of compounds totreat or prevent the various diseases described above are well-known inthe art. Suitable animal models of hypersensitivity or allergicreactions are described in Foster, (1995) Allergy 50(21Supp1):6-9,discussion 34-38 and Tumas et al., (2001), J. Allergy Clin. Immunol.107(6):1025-1033. Suitable animal models of allergic rhinitis aredescribed in Szelenyi et al., (2000), Arzneimittelforschung50(11):1037-42; Kawaguchi et al., (1994), Clin. Exp. Allergy24(3):238-244 and Sugimoto et al., (2000), Immunopharmacology 48(1):1-7.Persons of ordinary skill in the art can adapt such information todetermine dosages suitable for human administration.

In some embodiments, assays suitable for determining RIP1 activity canbe used. Such assay methods can be used to evaluate the efficacy ofcompound embodiments disclosed herein and/or that can be used todetermine amounts/dosages of the compound embodiments that can provide adesired efficacy. In some embodiments, the assay can be an ADP-Glo™assay that assesses the ability of a compound embodiment to inhibitRIP1. In other embodiments, whole cell assays using mouse and/or humancells, such as U937 and/or L929 cell necroptosis assays, can beperformed to determine safe and effective doses of compounds that can beused in human in vivo studies. Using these whole cell assays, thecompound's activity against human and/or murine RIP1 can be assessed inan in vitro context, which then allows a person of ordinary skill in theart to determine safe and effective dosages for in vivo use. Yet anotherassay that can be used to evaluate the activity of compound embodimentsdescribed herein to treat a disease or condition involving RIP1 is anacute hypothermia mouse model, which assesses the compound's ability toinhibit TNF-alpha induced hypothermia. Each of these assays, and variousresults from using these assays, are described in detail in the Examplessection of the present disclosure.

Dosage amounts of disclosed compounds will typically be in the range offrom greater than 0 mg/kg/day, such as 0.0001 mg/kg/day or 0.001mg/kg/day or 0.01 mg/kg/day, up to at least about 100 mg/kg/day. Moretypically, the dosage (or effective amount) may range from about 0.0025mg/kg to about 1 mg/kg administered at least once per day, such as from0.01 mg/kg to about 0.5 mg/kg or from about 0.05 mg/kg to about 0.15mg/kg. The total daily dosage typically ranges from about 0.1 mg/kg toabout 5 mg/kg or to about 20 mg/kg per day, such as from 0.5 mg/kg toabout 10 mg/kg per day or from about 0.7 mg/kg per day to about 2.5mg/kg/day. Dosage amounts can be higher or lower depending upon, amongother factors, the activity of the disclosed compound, itsbioavailability, the mode of administration, and various factorsdiscussed above.

Dosage amount and dosage interval can be adjusted for individuals toprovide plasma levels of the disclosed compound that are sufficient tomaintain therapeutic or prophylactic effect. For example, the compoundscan be administered once per day, multiple times per day, once per week,multiple times per week (e.g., every other day), one per month, multipletimes per month, or once per year, depending upon, amongst other things,the mode of administration, the specific indication being treated, andthe judgment of the prescribing physician. Persons of ordinary skill inthe art will be able to optimize effective local dosages without undueexperimentation.

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more of the disclosedcompounds typically comprise from greater than 0 up to 99% of thedisclosed compound, or compounds, and/or other therapeutic agent bytotal weight percent. More typically, pharmaceutical compositionscomprising one or more of the disclosed compounds comprise from about 1to about 20 total weight percent of the disclosed compound and othertherapeutic agent, and from about 80 to about 99 weight percent of apharmaceutically acceptable excipient. In some embodiments, thepharmaceutical composition can further comprise an adjuvant.

Preferably, the disclosed compound, combinations of disclosed compounds,or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, will provide therapeutic orprophylactic benefit without causing substantial toxicity. Toxicity ofthe disclosed compound can be determined using standard pharmaceuticalprocedures. The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic (orprophylactic) effect is the therapeutic index. Disclosed compounds thatexhibit high therapeutic indices are preferred.
